Introduction
Nepal, crowned by eight of the world’s ten highest peaks, is a sacred kingdom of mountain passes, roaring Himalayan rivers, and spiritual stupas. Touring on two wheels through the Annapurna foothills or the Kathmandu valley requires sharp road vigilance and deep spiritual reverence.
À faire lors d’un voyage à Nepal
Secure required trekking and entry permits (TIMS, ACAP, National Park permits) before riding into conservation areas.
Circumambulate Buddhist stupas (such as Boudhanath and Swayambhunath) in a clockwise direction.
Check motorcycle clutch cables, suspension, and brakes daily to handle steep gravel ascents and descents.
Carry sufficient Nepalese currency in cash as digital payment terminals are rare in remote mountain lodges.
À éviter
Do not ride at high speeds on unpaved gravel tracks with loose river stones and sudden dust ruts.
Do not point your feet toward Buddha statues, monks, or elders while seated in monasteries or local homes.
Do not ride through national wildlife corridors after sunset to protect endangered rhinos and leopards.
Do not leave any single-use plastic or trash along pristine Himalayan rivers and trails.
